Comments

If bGraceful is TRUE, then the connection will be closed after all the data has been sent. If you have sent a large chunk of data immediately before calling L_InetClose, then there is a high probability that not every byte has been sent. Closing with bGraceful = FALSE means that the connection is closed without delay, and with the possibility that the data you sent will be truncated. Closing with bGraceful = TRUE means that the close will be delayed until all the data has been sent. You will be notified of the disconnection in the INETCALLBACK function when you receive the INET_CLOSE message.

You must initialize the LEADTOOLS Internet DLL using L_InetStartUp before calling this function.
